Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures SAYS;
1T has been little more than a dull nominally
| unchanged market. Values huctuated three
| points during the day, finally closing about the
| same as last evening or near, and somewhat
easier on late months, with the record of trading
| light Most of the business has been to Satur-
| day adjustment of the unsettled deal, and has
! included more or less switching of June with
| the two following months"

CHICAGO, May 7.-Early sales of June wheat
| were made at S61sc, and the indications were
| for much stronger market. Brokers for the
| clique went on the open board and broke the
market down to $3.50. 1t was speedily sold OF
to SEC at which point the clique houses did little
| buying. Their purchases sent it up 1sc. The
| reaction to S6t6c was only temporary, and after
| the first half hours trading prices steadily
| sagged down to S534c, which was fraction
| under yesterday. Between 1920 and IL O'Clock
the market hung between S512c and $3.50, but
| at 11:30 June sold momentarily at Soc. The
| crowd in the pit was very thin, and June again
| sagged back in its former place-o59Bc. Corn
| was quiet aud featurelesS all day and prices
| huctuated within a range of less than Ac. Sales
| were very scant at 3934c. which was high, and
| at 39l2Q395sc, which was low. During the
| greater part of the session June sold between
| 3995a43934c Provisions were dull and lifeless,
the only trading being moderate sales of ribs,
| which broke June ribs from 81 IS to 81 80.
